In CouchDB, design documents provide the main interface for building a CouchDB
application. The design document defines the views used to extract information
from CouchDB through one or more views. Design documents are created within
your CouchDB instance in the same way as you create database documents, but the
content and definition of the documents is different. Design Documents are
named using an ID defined with the design document URL path, and this URL can
then be used to access the database contents.
